New image for Brackley

A new look for a new future for Brackley Brass.

Brackley Brass
 

The Brackley & District Band has recently been through a rebranding, with the organisation now to be known as Brackley Brass.

Long term strategy

A spokesperson told 4BR: "As part of our long term strategy for the band’s future, we are proud to announce a brand new image for the band as Brackley Brass.

The change gives the band a snappier name, brings a fresh new look as well as a new logo (above), website and concert wear to go with our new colour scheme."

Sharper

They added: "Aside from a sharper look, this will present the band in a more professional way, adding credibility to our mission to improve and deliver quality performances.

We will also be introducing new uniforms for less formal events to fit in with our new colour scheme in the near future."
